According to credible reports and intelligence received from within the Iranian regime and its Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), Fatah Al-Islam has been created by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its subordinate, the Quds Force in 2005.

Iran no brake trainEver since Iran’s nuclear issue has been handed to the United Nations Security Council for punitive actions, crisis in the region has been flaring up at periods, each time the case is opened or closed for review.

Crisis in Lebanon, the hostage-taking of British sailors, and nowadays the explosions at the holy sites in Iraq and the wave of terror and war in Iraq, Palestine and Lebanon, all carry embedded messages from Tehran.

Last year on August 22, Keyhan, a state-run daily published in Tehran wrote “The Iranian dossier will not be resolved at the negotiating table unless when the other party comes to realize that the cost of engaging Iran is so high that the bitterness of compromise will be considered justifiable.”  The paper continues, “The West will only give in to the emergence of a nuclear Iran when it is left with no other choice.”
